Historical Firearms

The sound of historical battefields was loud and dominated by the explosive charges of smoky muskets, carbines, cannons and revolvers. Historical Firearms by Boom Library brings you the exact sound of these old-fashioned weapons. Loud, deadly, uncompromising and from the times where no one even thought about things like silencers or ammo clips.

The Bundle gives you all ready-to-use sound effects from the Designed library plus the massive amount of source recordings in the Construction Kit. All files contain well-grounded Soundminer metadata to quickly and exactly find the sound you need and streamline your workflow.
